Sotogrande Beach Bars

Sotogrande - Beach Bars - Chiringuitos

Here is a comprehensive list of beach bars (chiringuitos), beach restaurants and beach clubs in and around Sotogrande and Torre Guadiaro, both in the municipality of San Roque.

These establishments offer sun loungers for hire at a reasonable price per day. Many also offer music and create their own unique atmosphere. Some of the beach bars, especially in the more developed areas, are open all year round, while others are open from Easter to the end of September.

The list below starts at the municipal boundary with Casares, near Punta Chulera, which is also the boundary with the province of Málaga, and includes the beach bars of Torreguadiaro and Sotogrande, as well as Alcaidesa in the eastern part of the municipality of San Roque in the province of Cadiz, and the Alcaidesa resort.

Sotogrande

Bunker Beach Club
Bunker Beach Club Bunker Beach Club is not a traditional beach club, but rather a laid back beach bar, or chiringuito, located just west of Sotogrande’s western boundary, above the high water mark on the public Guadalquitón Beach, which fronts the unfenced private Finca Guadalquitón. The Guadalquitón estate, now abandoned and used as a hunting ground, lies within the extended Alcornocales Natural Park, a rural area between the Sotogrande and Alcaidesa resorts. While there is no access to the estate from the A-7 service road, it can be reached via the beach, locally known as Bunker Beach. Bunker Beach Club is considered a hip, cosy, and romantic spot with a casual vibe, offering coffee, brunch, lunch, dinner, and dessert, along with a children’s menu and live music. It’s a family-friendly venue known for its beachside BBQ menu, chill atmosphere, and proximity to nature, serving tasty home-cooked food, fresh seafood, a good wine list, and fast, friendly service. Although there is no formal car park, limited free parking is available next door at the site of the Sotogrande Waste Water Treatment Plant on Paseo del Parque.

World War Two Bunker Beach Club 
World War Two Bunker Bunker Beach club is located next to the historic WW2 bunker and from which the beach bar takes its name. Five hundred defences were urgently built by General Franco in 1939 at the end of the Spanish Civil War. Some were converted from temporary civil war field fortifications into the permanent fortifications that remain today. This bunker is the most easterly of the defensive line which stretches for about 100 kilometres as far as Calas de Roche in Chiclana. They were built as a defence against a possible Allied invasion from Gibraltar where British and French troops were stationed. As it transpired, the invasion never came and the bunkers were never needed. Other nearby bunkers can be seen in La Linea and Tarifa, and in the ancient Roman town of Carteia, where a bunker has been turned into a museum. A comprehensive catalogue of the western set of bunkers has been produced by Ángel J. Sáez Rodríguez called Fortines del sur zona oriental" and can be downloaded as 500 page PDF.
